BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

The Board of Agriculture met in
the offices of the department yester-
day and completed the routine busi-
ness before it.
The following resolution was in
troduced at the instance Of Mr.. w.
G. Upchurch, who attended the far
mers' convention for the protection
of cattle, in Maryland, a short time
since.
Resolved, that this Board Of Ag-
riculture respectfully suggest to the
general assembly that further legis-
Iation is needed for the protection
Of cattle against the introduction of
disease into the State.
Letters were read from Senator
Vance and from Chas. H. Carlyle,
secretary and treasury Of the Spar
tanburg Encampment Association.
This association is composed of farm
ers from several Southern States,
and is under the direct management
Of the Changers of these States. 1t
is an encampment held in the sum-
mer in tents and has great many
agricultural features
An interesting letter was also read
from VIM. Murdock, Esq, practical
farmer Of Rowan county His let
ter threw out suggestions on sheep
raising and providing means for
the protection of sheep, and also in
creasing the school fund.-Rdieigh

least not less tIsan one College as described in
tie fourth sectto,, Of this Act, or the grant
to said State shall cease and said State
shall be bound to pay to the United
States the amount recei eived%of any lands
previously sold, and he,tftle to purchas-

4. An annual report shall be made
regarding the progress of each College,
recorttsng any improvements and experiments
made, with their costs and results, and
such other matters, including State and

useful; one copy of which shall be trans

other Colleges which may be endowed
under the provisions Of this act, and also
one to the Secretary of the Interior.

We submit that if, after reading
this, any one can have doubt as to
what kind Of colleges it was passed
for, language to such one must
have but little meaning. 1t simply
means Il college where branches
relating to agriculture and the me-
chanic arts are leading features, not
mere y an imaginary annex to a
University. Mississi ppi, Virginia,
Alabama, Michigan. Iowa, Kansas
and other States have complied with
the letter and the spirit of the act,
and have Agricultural Colleges
which do them honor. Why cannot
North Carolina do likewise?

ORGANIZATION.

William, Duke Of Normandy, with
$4,000 we'll organized and disciplined
troops, was able to conquer millions
"funorganized Britons. SO capital
in various forms, railroad kings,
with a well-organized and disciplin-
ed force Of 1000 or 2 900, are able TO
rule and rob all the millions of unor-
ganized farmers and other toilers.
We must meet organization with or
ganization, overthrow evil organiza-
tions with good ones. The organized
farmers in the Grange have done
more in the last few years for agri-
culture and our country than all the
unorganized farmers for fifty year,
past.-MOrtimer Whtehead.

In the discussion Of bill to extend
Company to complete the work to Pat
terson in the n. c. House of Representa-
tives, Mr.. Fries, representative from
Forsyth, opposed the bill, offering an
amendment. He was opposed to the
State furnishing convicts to corporations
and said the people of Forsyth were tired
Of being taxed to support enterprises in
other portions of the State, in which
they were not interested. The bill
finally passed extending the time four
years and allowing the use of $50 con-
vcts.

she Wanted a Comforter.


An Englishwoman tells of a somewhat
amusing experience which grew out OF a
misunderstanding on her own part shortly
after she came to this country few months
ago. She kindly volunteered to serve for
night as amateur nurse for sick friend.
The patient was 50 weak that she could
barely whisper word or two to tell her
wants, but the nurse was so jealous and at
tentive that the feeblest lisp Of a want was
filled at once. With SIN Englishwomans
faith in fresh air. she took care to open the
window so that the room was well ventils
ted, though no draft could reach the pG-
patient Still the atmosphere became de
cidedly cooler, and the sick woman felt the
change. Reckoning the nurse 10 the bed
side with a wishful look, she whispered
softly in her ear, Comforter" The one word
was enough. With a woman's quick wit she
guessed what her friend wished for at
once. aud set off downstairs in quest of
the family Bible. Having found it after
short search, she lugged il upstairs with
considerable exertiop, for it was heavily
illustrated and bound, and set it down tri
umphartly on the patients bed. To her
surprise the sick woman said Nor
plainly with her speaking eyes, and moved
her head slightly in token Of dissent.
Again the energetic nurse set off undis-
courageu ana nunleu up the patient nus
band, whom she brought hopefully 10 the
sick-room. Troubled and surprised at the
unsa,isfied look of the sick woman, Sue
went off again without thinking or giving
up the search, and this time rounded up "
the family pastor. taking the good man
from his house just as be was retiring for
the night When the combined efforts of
the three succeeded in putting q warm
coverlet on the bed the nurse sat down,
fairly exhausted by her struggle to master
New England English.

A CAPTIVE IN CHIHUAHUA.
Red Devils Who Danced While They
Tortured "A White Man.

Tortured White Man.
Colonel Shelley Mexican joel was one
of the earliest American settlers in old Chi
huahua, locating large ranch in the Sanos
valley. He imported the first Jersey and
Durham cattle into the country, and had
fourishing ranch when the most terrible
trial of his life took place. Zone day l
was on q solitary prowl through the Sierra
Madre Mountains said Colonel Shelley,
the other day, and met two white men
and Mexican, and was invited to their
quarters. | was just making an interesting
haul IL a game of monte when my hands
were seized from behind and a gag was
thrust into my mouth, ard | was relieved
of my revolvers in style that was refresh
ing in its rapidly. Bound like trussed
turkey, | was carried all night up the
mountains on ponyback, and at break of
day was driven through the narrow nat
ural gateway that led to the mountain
fastness of Chihuahua plateau sur
rounded by natural mountail walls. Cliffs
rising from 80 to 100 feet above the ordinary
level, approached by tortuous mountain
paths, made impregnable the eyrie from
which the famous chiefs and his followers
emerged to raid all over the surrounding
country. For three days and nights l was
bound to sspling between two stakes,
jests and arrows of the bucks and squaws.
(The Colonel has the marks that furnish
the documents for his latter statement
tattooing his entire body) The arrow
heads were sharp as the blade of knife,
and were shot so as to cut through the skin
and draw plenty of blood without touch
ing vital spot. Three days defied them
with all my powers of endurance, although
my flow of language was hardly equal to
the volume of blood | wasted, and at the
end of that time was assigned TO the care
of two guards TO do mental duties with the
squaws.
For eighteen months | scraped hides
and stood the rough racket of On Indian
prisoner. Finally one of the chiefs squaws
took great fancy to me, and through her
aid | saw a chance for escape. l shall never
forget the beautiful moonlight night left.
The outfit had q big celebration, and mes
cal had the best of their brains. One of my
guards was asleep, the other doing. Ny
hand went over the mouth of one, and my
knife through his heart at the same instant.
My other guard was similarly treated.
crawled out of the sleeping camp through
the gateway, and threaded my way down
the tough trail about one mile and half,
where the faithful sqaaw was waiting with
ten ponies Then came wild ride down
the Sierra Madres. | lode one and drove
nine ahead of me. Thus l went 225 miles
back to Garcia, taking fresh pony every
time one was exhausted
This story was told with an air of aTtless
simplicity that characterizes Colonel Shell
ley. His whole life has been one of adven-
tire and daring, and every member of the
cowboys convention has his story of wild
romance and rough life.-St. Pad Globe.

For the RECoRD-USIoS.I
SOMEBODY'S DAUGHT ar.

She was somebody's daughter,
She was somebody's child.
She once had been pure,
From sin undefiled
But now, in her misery,
She shrank from the gaze
OF the friends who had known her
In her young girihood days.
She was somebody's daughter,
Yet she stood there apart
From the world and its pleasures,
With sorTowing heart.
The gloom that enshrouds her
Is darker than night
Though her face is so fair
Her soul sees no light.
She is somebody's daughter,
Then why pass her by?
Why not 60 unto her
And with kindly words try
To win her from sin?
From the path she has trod,
And the blessings of heaven
VIII be thy reward.
She is somebody's daughter,
Speak kindly, pray,
For perhaps a fond mother
Is weeping to-day
Ger the loss of her loved one
Who has strayed from the fold
Whose fond heart is breaking
With anguish untold
